It's hot outside! Protect your kids and animals from heatstroke. NEVER leave them in a parked car — even for a few minutes. These actions will help as a reminder: 🧸Put a toy up front. 🎒 Put something you need in the back seat like a purse or backpack. 👁️Look before you lock!

Hello from the night shift! ☕️ Take precautions to prevent heat illness, especially if you have outdoor plans for the Holiday Weekend. weather.gov/safety/heat Or if you're a fellow night shifter, good luck sleeping during these hot days! 🥵
Title: Heat can escalate quickly. Warm temperatures can quickly become dangerous. Heat is one of the most deadly weather hazards - don't underestimate it. Never leave people or pets alone in a closed car. Drink plenty of water, even if you don't feel thirsty. Wear loose-fitting clothing. Spend time in air conditioning and in the shade.
